The Daily Report

Introducing the first regular segment, the Daily Report, which will be posted typically every weekday and at occasional other times. So, today the Green Line was rather mean to me, and by that I mean more annoying than usual. On account of the weekend, the MBTA finds it acceptable to run single car trains at long intervals, not particularly good for capacity or rider comfort. So this morning, I missed a double Lechmere train by seconds, and was stuck waiting for a North Station train, waiting past three cars, one single and one double, all bound for Government Center. When finally a NS train arrived, single Breda, packed to the ceiling, like some kind of E-Line train. Oh well, at least it didn't change its mind and go to Gov't Center instead like happened yesterday. And it didn't have Thursday's option of splitting in half at Park either. Aah the Green Line, such an unpredictable cauldron of misery at times. On a better note, the Orange Line was surprisingly quick and painless today, I guess the misfortune demons overlooked it in favor of the Green today.

And so it goes, another day riding forever 'neath the streets of boston.
